Man bags 7-yr sentence for biting off girlfriend’s nose

A court in South Dakota has sentenced a 30-year-old man identified as John Abdo to seven-years in prison for biting off the nose of his girlfriend.

Judge Bruce Anderson described the January 2016 attack by John on his girlfriend as “unforgivable.”

He sentenced Abdo this week to 15 years in prison with eight years suspended and the convict will do his time at the South Dakota State Penitentiary.

Authorities allege that John also bit his girlfriend numerous times elsewhere on her body. A jury convicted him of aggravated assault in February.

John also was sentenced to serve half a year for escape. He failed to return to jail following a job interview in February 2016 and was on the lam for four months.
